OWL: Lily to Severus Who: Lily Evans Potter, Severus Snape Where: Owls When: Breakfast, January 9, 2025 Warnings: Summary: Lily sends Severus a little gift.
Severus,
Thank you for the lovely Yule present. I keep it close, always, for when it's needed. It was very thoughtful.
It took me a long time to decide on your birthday present, and in the end it came down to this, and a kitten. I thought you'd appreciate this far more, and it would be less likely to end up in a potion of some kind.
Happy Birthday, and don't scare the kids too much. We need them to leave Hogwarts with most of their faculties in tact.
Yours, Lily
